The legendary King in Galar is Calyrex!
In ancient times, Calyrex was the legend that ruled the Galar region, and is currently the only Pokémon that has truly served as a king.
And Calyrex's classification is also the King Pokémon.
Although in the Galar region, the two legendary Pokémon, the Sword King and the Shield King, are very famous, strictly speaking, excluding Eternatus, who is an outsider to begin with.
Calyrex is also an extremely powerful legendary Pokémon!
Its strength will definitely not be weaker than Zacian and Eternatus.
Moreover, if Ryuga remembered correctly, Calyrex really does inhabit the Crown Tundra...
Hmm, and the Galar Legendary Birds also inhabit the Crown Tundra.
"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Marnie's senses were very sharp, and she noticed Ryuga's gaze, asking in confusion.
"I just feel like you're especially pretty today. Did you put on makeup?"
Ryuga's lips curled slightly as he looked at Marnie's delicate face and asked with a smile.
"You're all talk. Save those sweet words for those young girls. Let's go, didn't you say you wanted to find an energy spot?"
Marnie was stunned for a moment, then rolled her eyes and replied without any change in tone.
After speaking, Marnie took the lead and walked towards the snowy mountain.
However, after passing Ryuga, Marnie's lips curved into a very faint smile, clearly in a very pleasant mood.
"This girl."
Ryuga smiled, put on his coat, and followed Marnie's steps.
Although he had a good physique and Dragon Force, he was still just a mortal.
It was fine for a short time, but constantly enduring such low temperatures would be courting death.
The two walked step by step through the snow, while Dragonair floated beside Ryuga, following them and keeping watch.
In a place like the Crown Tundra, Ryuga would naturally not recall Dragonair.
If they were suddenly attacked by a wild Pokémon, it would be too dangerous.
"Dragonair, Dragon Rush."
Beside an ice lake, Ryuga gave Dragonair the command.
"Woo~"
Dragonair let out a high cry, its incredibly slender body glowing with a blue light, transforming into a ferocious evil dragon in the blink of an eye.
Boom!
Dragon Rush charged forward at high speed, hitting the chest of a black giant tens of meters tall in front.
The black giant roared continuously, but it couldn't withstand Dragonair's impact at all.
With a loud bang, the black giant fell heavily to the ground, the faint ominous red light surrounding its body dissipated, its size rapidly shrank, and it turned into a Grimmsnarl, fainting on the ground.
"A Gigantamax Grimmsnarl couldn't even withstand a single blow. Dragonair's power is still so captivating."
Seeing this, Marnie looked at the holy and beautiful Shinny Dragonair floating in the air, her eyes sparkling with wonder.
She really wanted a Shinny Dragonair too!
It was both beautiful and domineering, simply perfect!
"The energy spot has been found, Eternatus."
Passing the fainted Grimmsnarl, Ryuga walked to an energy spot glowing red, observed it for a moment, then took out an Ultra Ball and threw it.
"Roar~"
Accompanied by a flash of white light, a scarlet and ominous glow appeared, and the Poison-type Dragon quietly floated above Ryuga.
"This is Eternatus!"
Marnie's clear and bright beautiful eyes sparkled even more, looking with surprise at this legend that almost destroyed the Galar region.
...
Although she had an extremely delicate and cute appearance, Marnie, who had a competitive personality since childhood, was not a girl who decided her preferences based solely on appearance.
Eternatus's appearance was definitely not beautiful, and for most people, Eternatus, with its skeletal dragon-like appearance, might give them the first impression of 'this is an Evil-type Pokémon'.
But Marnie liked Eternatus very much.
Why?
Because it was a legendary Pokémon, and absolutely very strong!
"Eternatus, absorb the energy here first."
Ryuga looked up at Eternatus and said with a smile, "Quickly absorb the energy here, then moving to the next energy spot is the main priority."
Eternatus's white speckled eyes flickered, and it lowered its body slightly, the red light within its chest and abdomen growing brighter, eerie and ominous.
And under the gaze of Ryuga and Marnie, the energy particles from the originally red-glowing energy spot transformed into a torrent, rapidly entering Eternatus's body.
"Do you like it very much?"
Seeing Eternatus absorbing energy, Ryuga looked around.
The surrounding Pokémon had all been defeated by Dragonair.
And after Eternatus appeared, there was not a single sound around.
Pokémon's senses are far more acute than humans'.
As a top legendary, Eternatus's dangerous aura could be felt by sensitive Pokémon, and they would naturally instinctively flee far away.
Finally, Ryuga's gaze fell on Marnie.
Seeing Marnie's beautiful eyes fixed on Eternatus, he asked with a slight smile.
"Yes, who doesn't like legends? But I'm too weak right now."
Marnie was startled, then nodded, her pleasant voice calm.
The power of legendary, in this Pokémon-themed world, no one would refuse it.
Marnie certainly yearned for it, but she had a clear understanding of herself.
What about her now was worthy of a legendary's attention?
Let alone a top legend like Eternatus, who once almost destroyed Galar.
"Do you remember what I said before? You are very outstanding, and even for legendaries, you might not be without a chance in the future."
Ryuga said with an encouraging smile.
Both her appearance and her strong personality made Ryuga have a good impression of this girl.
Moreover, Marnie's talent was indeed undeniable.
Marnie's brother, Piers, was one of the top Trainers in the Galar region.
Because Spikemuth did not have a Dynamax energy spot, Piers disliked Dynamax.
However, even without using Dynamax, Piers still gave Raihan a tough fight in the original story.
But even such a Piers highly praised Marnie, saying, 'Her aptitude makes me feel ashamed,' and after the game's protagonist became Champion, Piers directly stepped down and let the much-grown Marnie take over his Gym Leader position.
This shows how talented Marnie truly was.
"And... I will help you, after all, you are also my... little helper."
Then Ryuga grinned, showing his characteristic malicious smile, and slowly said to Marnie.
"Put that expression away. You look like a villain."
Marnie's eyelids twitched, and she replied to Ryuga grumpily.
Even though she was already used to Ryuga's smile, she was still a bit unaccustomed to it.
And... are you trying to help me? You just want my body!
Marnie complained inwardly, turning her gaze to the Grimmsnarl beside her.
She had long been used to Ryuga always taking advantage of her.
She herself didn't dislike Ryuga, otherwise, how could she have let Ryuga flirt with her time and time again?
But Marnie had a strong personality.
Although she had a good impression of Ryuga, she couldn't bring herself to confess to him actively.
After watching Grimmsnarl for a while, Marnie turned her gaze back to Ryuga.
"This Grimmsnarl's strength is indeed decent, and its quality is not bad. It can barely be caught."
Ryuga understood Marnie's meaning.
After examining Grimmsnarl, he said to Marnie.
Marnie was different from typical female Trainers.
She wasn't interested in cute Pokémon that looked soft and cuddly but weren't outstanding in battle.
Perhaps because her brother Piers specialized in Dark-type, she also preferred Dark-type Pokémon.
"Then I'll catch it."
A very faint smile appeared on Marnie's pretty face.
As for Ryuga's words like 'decent' and 'barely', Marnie simply filtered them out.
She knew that Ryuga had extremely high, even ridiculously strict, requirements for the talent and aptitude of the Pokémon he held.
But where in the world were there so many excellent Pokémon?
And ones that she happened to like?
Marnie didn't have Ryuga's excessive demands, but she trusted Ryuga's judgment.
Since he said it could be caught, then this Grimmsnarl must be very good.
"Poké Ball, go!"
Marnie took out an empty Poké Ball and skillfully threw it at Grimmsnarl.
The Grimmsnarl, heavily wounded by Dragonair, clearly had no resistance.
The indicator light flashed three times and then completely stopped.
Marnie caught the rebounding Poké Ball, and the smile on her delicate small face seemed to deepen, her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed.
After all, she had caught a new partner.
Ryuga looked at the joyful Marnie and couldn't help but smile knowingly.
This girl was indeed very cute.
But just as Eternatus was absorbing energy, in a forest far away from the Crown Tundra.
Beside a clear stream, Zacian, who was about to drink water, looked up, its cold gaze chilling.
"You still couldn't resist after all."
...
In a lush green area, Ryuga had Eternatus absorb all the energy from this spot and then recalled him.
"How do you feel, Eternatus?"
Ryuga stretched his neck and asked Eternatus in his mind.
"My energy is replenished. Thank you for your hard work, Ryuga."
Eternatus replied with a deep, hoarse telepathic message.
They had absorbed at least dozens of energy spots along the way.
Eternatus's energy was no longer scarce.
Although it was still far from the energy needed for Gigantamax, it was definitely more than enough for normal activities.
"No need to be so polite. We probably need to hide for a while now. Your energy absorption will inevitably expose your aura."
"If Zacian and Zamazenta are very persistent about you, they might already be heading this way."
Ryuga's lips curved, then he pondered for a moment and discussed with Eternatus.
Normally, it was fine.
Eternatus stayed in his Poké Ball, and his aura was completely hidden.
Even if Zacian was very sensitive to Eternatus, he couldn't sense Eternatus's location.
But to absorb the energy from an energy spot, Eternatus would inevitably expose his aura.
Given Zacian and Zamazenta's familiarity with Eternatus, they could completely sense Eternatus's direction.
To prevent Zacian from 'coming to their doorstep,' since Eternatus now had enough energy, Ryuga felt it was very necessary to avoid a direct confrontation with Zacian.
"An Eternatus without Gigantamax, even with my command, it's basically impossible to be a match for Zacian..."
Ryuga also felt helpless. If it were Shield King Zamazenta, Eternatus would still have a chance to fight, and Ryuga was confident that the chances of winning were as high as eighty percent!
But Zacian...
Seriously, no.
Eternatus's Poison-type and Dragon-type moves are completely ineffective.
His two exclusive moves are completely useless.
How can he fight Sword King Zacian?
Just with non-STAB moves like Shadow Ball and Meteor Beam?
Have you forgotten how ferocious Zacian was in Hammerlocke?
Behemoth Blade completely shattered Meteor Beam.
Ryuga remembered it vividly.
Now that he could avoid a direct confrontation, it was better to avoid it for now...
Moreover, even if Eternatus could directly contend with Zacian, did they really think Zamazenta was air?
What if they got into a stalemate and Zamazenta shamelessly came out to help his sister?
Although Ryuga was arrogant, he was not ignorantly, fearlessly, or brainlessly arrogant.
"I'll listen to you."
Eternatus was silent for a while before replying.
Although he really wanted to restore his full power, Eternatus, who had been cut down twice by Zacian, now understood that he couldn't act too hastily.
And he also trusted Ryuga.
He could feel that Bai was truly helping him.
Ryuga nodded.
It was best if Eternatus understood.
He was really afraid that once Eternatus's energy was full, he would feel like he was all-powerful again.
And actually, Ryuga was thinking about whether Zacian and the others might already be heading towards the Crown Tundra.
"The Giant's Bed is just ahead, Ryuga. Let's rest there."
